Digital certificates are like passports for computers - they prove identity and enable encrypted connections. Managing them throughout their life is certificate lifecycle management: issuing them, deploying them to servers and devices, renewing them before expiration, revoking them if compromised, and keeping records for compliance. The quantum transition makes this exponentially harder. You need to know where every certificate lives, what algorithm it uses, when it expires, and whether it needs upgrading to post-quantum algorithms. Organizations typically have 100,000+ certificates scattered across on-premise servers, cloud services, IoT devices, and containers. Manual management is impossible. Automated discovery and renewal becomes essential.
Expired certificates cause 34% of unplanned outages - we saw this with Microsoft Teams in 2020 and multiple other high-profile failures. During quantum migration, you'll need to track both classical and post-quantum certificates, potentially running hybrid certificates with both types of keys. Without automation, you'll either have outages or security gaps.
Proper certificate lifecycle management means zero-downtime migration to post-quantum cryptography. You can identify which certificates protect which services, prioritize critical systems, test post-quantum certificates in staging, then deploy to production with automated renewals ensuring nothing breaks.
